Alice’s Restaurant 2016

You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in, it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track

We interrupt this broadcast to bring you the following Emergency Bulletin: Due the fact that Donald Trump’s remake of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” is in full bloom and that “yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog’s eye” seems to be following all roads to Trump Tower, in the tracks of those so honored with visitation rights to kiss Trump’s ass, instead of celebrating this day with Arlo Guthrie’s “Alice’s Restaurant” we bring you the following more appropriate message this Thanksgiving Day of 2016:

Old Man Trump - Words by Woody Guthrie

I suppose that Old Man Trump knows just how much racial hate
He stirred up in that bloodpot of human hearts
When he drawed that color line
Here at his Beach Haven family project

Beach Haven ain't my home!
No, I just can't pay this rent!
My money's down the drain,
And my soul is badly bent!
Beach Haven is Trump’s Tower
Where no black folks come to roam,
No, no, Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain't my home!

I'm calling out my welcome to you and your man both
Welcoming you here to Beach Haven
To love in any way you please and to have some kind of a decent place
To have your kids raised up in.
   
Beach Haven ain't my home!
No, I just can't pay this rent!
My money's down the drain,
And my soul is badly bent!
Beach Haven is Trump’s Tower
Where no black folks come to roam,
No, no, Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain't my home!

Happy Turkey Day. May be the last for awhile!
